Initiating an SOS Rescue

feature from operating properly and could delay receipt of assistance in the event of an emergency.

2 Press the SOS button .
3 Wait for the SOS countdown.
The device sends a default message to the emergency response service with details about your location.
4 Reply to the confirmation message from the emergency response service.
Your reply lets the emergency response service know that you are capable of interacting with them during
the rescue.
For the first 10 minutes of your rescue, an updated location is sent to the emergency response service every
minute. To conserve battery power after the first 10 minutes, an updated location is sent every 10 minutes
when moving and every 30 minutes when stationary.
Cancelling an SOS Rescue
If you no longer need assistance, you can cancel an SOS rescue after it is sent to the emergency response
service.
Select Cancel SOS.
Your device transmits the cancellation request. When you receive a confirmation message from the emergency
response service, the device returns to normal operation.
